Where to Learn More About the National GFWC Organization from the GFWC/CT Site

Updated

The GFWC/CT site points visitors to www.gfwc.org for information about the global organization. The About Us page states: "To learn more about our global organization, please go to www.gfwc.org." The same page also includes a "Know Your Organization" section described as "(more about GFWC)," giving visitors a second route to background on the national organization without leaving the Connecticut site.

Two Paths to National GFWC Information

Path Where it appears What it provides
External link to www.gfwc.org About Us page Information about the global GFWC organization
"Know Your Organization" section About Us page Additional background on GFWC, labeled "(more about GFWC)"

Both are listed under the "Useful Information" area of the About Us page, alongside other resources such as diversity, equity, and inclusion materials and scholarship applications.

How GFWC/CT Relates to the National Organization

The site presents GFWC/CT as the Connecticut-level part of a broader GFWC network. Its stated goal is "to be of service to others, improve our social, cultural and physical environment and promote appreciation of the arts," and it describes members as striving "to become responsible leaders in our communities." The reference to "our global organization" on the same page frames the Connecticut group as connected to a larger whole rather than a standalone entity.

Practical Notes for Visitors

  • Start on the About Us page. Both the external link and the "Know Your Organization" section live there, so you can reach national information in one step from a single page.
  • Use the external link for the widest view. The site explicitly directs visitors to www.gfwc.org when they want to learn about the organization beyond Connecticut.
  • Use "Know Your Organization" for a local summary. It is presented as a GFWC overview hosted within the Connecticut site, useful if you want context without leaving gfwcct.org.
  • Membership questions go to a person, not the national site. For information about a club near you, the page lists Lynne Sarro, 2nd Vice-President, at [email protected].

If your goal is simply to understand what GFWC is as a whole, follow the www.gfwc.org link. If you want to see how the Connecticut affiliate describes itself and its activities first, read the About Us page and its "Know Your Organization" section before moving outward.
